Construction on key projects in the Hefei National High-tech Industry Development Zone, which is located in Hefei city, capital of East China's Anhui province, are in full swing.

The China Telecom (Anhui) Big data Industrial Park project is one of the projects currently under construction.

The park is a core information node of the Yangtze River Economic Belt. It also works as an important demonstration base for big data R&D and innovation.

Upon completion, it will be capable of processing mass data, storing data, and ensuring data security. In doing so, the project can provide the booming digital industry with high-quality and energy-saving data services.
